Cage must get smaller. or go back to a ring!

so tired of seeing fighters runaway.

why dont they make the cage smaller or go back to a ring. at least in a ring you wont have the chance to runaway the whole time.

MMA is a full contact sport. not somekind of runaway sport.

stop cage hugging, stop lay and pray and stop the runaways!

I like the round cage:




WEC never die!!!

Yes smaller cage would be better. They use a smaller cage when they fight at the palms. I think it is the same size that was used in the wec. Phone Post

 WEC cage was awesome. 

 VTFU Smaller cage has to be the way to go it would certainly force more contact and greatly improve footwork.

The current octogan size allow figthers with poor fighting movement to still escape with comparable ease.



I'd also like to see a bias to finishes, i wan to watch a fighting sport often the points decisions are comparable to watching Olympic boxing where the speed and size are preasent but the powere and damage are not it then tranisitions in to not being a fight.  How about no or 1/2 win bonus if its by points?  At least when you do get point decisions they should still have been wars and no one minds that - the Shogon Henderson fight for example.

I don’t think they should take anything way from fighters if anything the ufc makes enough money to offer finish bonuses as an incentive to finish fights.  Smaller cage plus substantial (half of purse) will make for some more exciting fights.  On the other hand look at last nights fight.  If a title is on the line I would think the fighters would fight to win not to finish.  Just my $0.02
